American Citizens Matter informs and provides a platform for citizens to have a voice against the attacks to our institutions and our people from enemies from within and without. We are dedicated to restoring our founding principles and putting American citizens first in all things. American Citizens Matter is a “Fanfare For the Common Man."

On Thursday, Americans will celebrate the Declaration of Independence by the Thirteen Colonies from the British Empire on July 4, 1776 and becoming a sovereign nation with the people in control of their own affairs. Yet the celebration of Independence Day could be ending.

Congress is expected to pass the U.S. Mexico Canada Agreement (USMCA) late this summer, a move which will gradually end national sovereignty with America falling to global governance by a small group of influential and wealthy individuals.

Deceptive plan for world government

As far back as 1950, globalists openly discussed their plan for a global government under the United Nations. Understanding that people would not immediately be willing to surrender their sovereignty and independence to an all-powerful world government, they devised a plan of regionalisation with the larger units eventually merging into one global unit of government.

This plan was laid out in the U.S. State Department 1962 report, “A World Effectively Controlled by the United Nations..” Council on Foreign Relations (CFR) member and longtime State Department official Lincoln Bloomfield recommended that regional units be created through “free trade” schemes, war, and the threat of war. The plan would be pursued slowly, deceptively, and quietly.

Free trade; international agreements. American sovereignty has been slowly and systemically eroded by “free trade,” international agreements, regional military alliances such as the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO), and more. Key to success is convincing nations and peoples to surrender sovereignty to regional organizations without their knowing the end game is a global government.

Shortly after his inauguration, President Trump issued a memorandum directing the U.S. Trade Representative to withdraw the United States as a signatory to the TPP and to “permanently withdraw the United States from the partnership.”

Trump also promised to renegotiate the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA). The new version of NAFTA is the U.S.Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA). If signed by Congress, USMCA spells the end of American sovereignty.

Formation of a North American Union?

Building on the former NAFTA, USMCA gradually ends American sovereignty by merging the economies of the United States, Mexico, and Canada into a North American Union. CFR President Richard Haass has described USMCA as NAFTA plus the TPP, with an additional 10 to 20 percent.

The lead NAFTA/USMCA negotiator was Robert Lighthizer, a member of the one world promoting CFR and supporter of TPP. Other negotiators included Tump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner who has business ties with Goldman Sachs and George Soros. Many of the same career service staff participating in the USMCA negotiations also negotiated the nearly identical provisions in TPP.

What’s wrong with USMCA?

Economic integration similar to European Union. USMCA is the economic merger of the United States, Mexico, and Canada, similar to the early trade deals and treaties in Europe that evolved into the European Union of today. The EU has a single currency, a law-enforcement agency, a proto-continental military, and purportedly has the authority to veto national budgets passed by member states’ parliaments.

Labor

---Subordination of U.S. to international labor organizations. Chapter 23 subordinates the United States to the International Labor Organization (ILO), affirming all three countries’ commitment to the ILO’s Declaration on Fundamental Principles and Rights at Work (1998) and Declaration on Social Justice for a Fair Globalization (2008).

---Collective bargaining required. Chapter 23 requires each country to recognize the right to collective bargaining. Will this open the door to repealing our “right-to-work laws” either through the USMCA’s implementation legislation or a future decision from a USMCA dispute resolution panel? International regimes have already tried to overturn U.S. domestic laws in the name of “free trade.”

---Implements LGBTQ agenda and gender identity in workplace. References to gender-related issues are sprinkled throughout Chapter 23 with all three countries being required to “promote” and “implement policies” protecting “gender identity” and “sexual orientation,” further advancing the LGBTQ agenda.

Creates international Free Trade Commission; bans tariffs. Chapter 30 establishes the Free Trade Commission which has the authority to eliminate tariffs. Much like the TPP Commission, the Free Trade Commission can make changes to the agreement without the consent of Congress. USMCA will govern virtually the entire global economy, forcing non-member nations to submit in order to participate in trade.

USMCA completely undermines the U.S. Constitution Article I, Section 8 that gives Congress the power to regulate trade with foreign nations, such as Mexico and Canada, and to impose tariffs should the need arise, as in the case of national security. If the U.S. had been under the USMCA, President Trump would not have been able to impose tariffs to force Mexico to send thousands of troops to our southern border to stop the flow of illegals into the U.S.

---Role of tariffs in our history. The purpose of a tariff is more than raising revenue. It makes a nation economically independent of other nations and economically dependent on fellow Americans. Tariffs have played a significant role in America’s rise as a wealthy manufacturing nation.

The Tariff Act of 1789, signed by President Washington, was enacted to encourage and protect manufacturers in the new nation. The Tariff of 1816 was passed to price British textiles out of competition, so Americans would build the new factories and capture the booming U.S. market. Tariffs financed the Civil War. The Fordney-McCumber Tariff provided the revenue to offset the slashing of Wilson’s income taxes, igniting the dynamic decade – the Roaring ’20s.

U.S. loses control of its energy sector. Chapter 8 requires that the power over its energy sector be retained by the Mexican government. U.S. and Canada give up control over theirs.

The Mexican constitution grants the federal government the power to regulate whole sectors of the nation’s economy. While the U.S. government has taken charge of many areas of our economy, that is in violation of the Constitution. Yet, under the USMCA, those sectors of our American economy now controlled by the federal government will likely be controlled by the Free Trade Commission through subcommittees.

Opens door to more illegal immigration. Chapter 17 allows a Mexican, a Canadian, or even a U.S.-based company to sue the U.S. government for restricting the number of employees a company could bring across the U.S. border. This undermines efforts to secure our border and further opens our nation’s borders to continued massive illegal immigration.

Chapter 28 opens the door to cross-border migration invasion akin to that of Europe. Each country is required to “ensure that migrant workers are protected under its labor laws, whether they are nationals or non-nationals” of the country in which they are residing.

This provision could place the unconstitutional Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA) under the judicial jurisdiction of a USMCA bi-national panel for dispute resolution, rather than under the legal control of the United States.

Environmentalism. Chapter 24 forces the countries to “promote high levels of environmental protection and effective enforcement of environmental laws; and...address...the furtherance of sustainable development.” The term “sustainable development” is a U.N. code term for wealth redistribution among nations.

North American Energy Grid

In energy, the U.S., Mexico, and Canada are already merging. Last August, the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO) discreetly posted a highly disturbing report entitled “North American Energy Integration.” Eight U.S. federal government agencies and departments are integrating the energy sectors of the three countries by merging their energy grids into one single grid. Page 43 of the GAO report specifically refers to the integrated system as the North American Energy Grid.

Question: Under which country will jurisdiction of the North American Energy Grid fall? Or will it fall under the USMCA’s Free Trade Commission, usurping control of our own U.S. energy grid?

Conclusion

If USMCA is passed by Congress, Amerca will no longer be an independent nation but rather will return to rule under a tyrannical world government without the personal freedoms for which our Founders risked their lives, fortunes, and sacred honor.

Can USMCA Be Stopped?

Yes!!! But it will take large numbers of the grassroots contacting Congress and President Trump with the truth about this train wreck!
